Ladies,

My husband and I have decided to go to marriage counseling through our church. Can anybody help me with what to expect? I have so much anxiety about the first session.

Overall, I feel like we have poor communication and understanding. We’ve been together 12 years, married for 4. The last 2 years have been really hard. I had a traumatic birth with my first son, a traumatic miscarriage that took a toll on my body for months before having surgery, and now I’m pregnant with our 2nd and it’s been an awful pregnancy. My first was also recently diagnosed with autism. It’s really affected my emotional and mental well being. I’m missing a lot of work trying to get our son help. My husband has not been supportive of me during these hard times. I wish I had a husband that prayed truth over me and helped me to be strong. I pray this counseling will help us communicate better with each other and have a more satisfying marriage. Thanks for listening.
